“At WellNow, our priority is to make healthcare more convenient, accessible, and affordable across the communities we serve, and this includes providing more financial options and flexibility,” WellNow Urgent Care President John Radford, MD, said in a release. “No one should ever delay care because they’re worried about their ability to pay at the time of service, so we’ve made it possible for them to pay in a way that works for them without the worry of interest fees.”
